The Atomic Voodoo Lounge Podcast Episode 3 Trailer -- Episode 3 available 8/29 at 12:00 AM!Grab a seat at New Stanton's surreal dive bar for some tiki noir entertainment with Maxwell Vagus. Enjoy six-word stories, surf music, and a tiki noir story "The Sea Maid's Music."

New Stanton, my soon-to-be published novel by HeavySixer Productions LLC, is what I call a speculative noir. It follows Mister Harold Dean as he attempts to makes sense of the surreal, small-town world of New Stanton in which he finds himself trapped. My podcast, The Atomic Voodoo Lounge, is an extension of that world, being broadcast from New Stanton’s dive bar, The Atomic Voodoo Lounge (or AVL).

What is important to remember is that New Stanton and The Atomic Voodoo Lounge are more than words (either written or spoken), they are vibrations communicating moods, viewpoints, and the endless possibilities that exists between Point A and Point B.

So from time to time, I will be trying my hand at creating mixed media presentations to accompany my writings and podcasts, attempting to further pollinate the vibe and flavor of the worlds I’m creating.

The Atomic Voodoo Lounge Episode 2.5 Surprise is live and available on all major platforms.
